Am I asking for too much?

These are both dealers ive followed closely for 3 months.
Most of the inventory is in stock and has barely changed in the 3 months I've been monitoring.
I've also visited another dealer 8 miles down the road who has a large amount of inventory itself.
Most of which were sitting there when I first visited.
These trucks arent flying off the lot like some people here are implying.

I never said all listed on their sites is in inventory but then again their online inventory is not accurate either.
As an example since im interested in the X.
One dealer has 5 total on the site and 4 in stock.
The second has 7 total and 7 in stock.
Both have had almost everyone in stock for the past 3 months.
More than enough inventory is there.

I think the point that we're trying to get across is that while it may look like "a lot" to you it's really not. JLR stopped importing stock to the US for about 3 weeks recently. That will cause inventory issues soon. Those "in production" and "coming soon" are part of those delayed vehicle counts.
There are potentially only 240 model X's in the US in total.

JLR dealer inventory aren't like your typical MB/BMW inventories. They sell far fewer vehicles in the US than either of them. Their model isn't to push volume, it's to keep margin on the sales that do happen. Dealer footprint has shrunk and holding costs aren't as impactful to the overall P/L of the organization.

I've very aware of the JLR business model and also aware deals can still be had if you put in the work as shown by some of the other thread contributors. Thanks for the feedback but I'll keep trying for a better deal. Will it be $5k? Maybe not but trying is surely not "laughable" as someone posted.
